General Comments

This is a brilliant camera, my 4th digital camera all of which have been Fujifilms.

The camera is small enough to fit into a breast pocket. A very simple, yet sleek, shiny, catchy design.

Very intuitive and easy to use. In fact, the toughest thing is locating the power button by the uninitiated.

I got a 256mb memory card as the 16mb one supplied only stores 10 photos at the 6 megapixel resolution. Mine stores up to 77, and a little over 7 minutes long movie clips.

The 1.8" LCD is very sharp and clear, good enough to show off your latest holiday photos and clips on. Voice recordings can also be made and attached to photos.

Quality of photos is dazzling. You'd be amazed at the miniscule details that can be picked up by the 3x optical zoom lens, which fully retracts into the camera body.

For lazy photographers like me, it is very easy using the various ISO settings, or flash settings, AE lock, etc. Photos well taken are excellent!

Movie clip quality is where I'm most excited. Lengths are restricted only by size of memory card. They are recorded at 30fps, which is TV quality. This makes for seamless, very sharp clips, and the ability of the lens to lock onto and keep focussed on moving objects is amazing. Also, the lens adjusts very fast to changes in light intensity, i'e. making a movie and moving from a darker interior to a sunlit exterior.

Other pluses are the AV connection, allowing for viewing of photos and clips on your tv Power is from batteries supplied which can be substituted with rechargeable AAA batteries. Very handy for when you run out of juice at a critical moment.

Software provided is very good, and downloading is very fast.

An excellent camera, very good buy and highly reccommended.
